Yesterday , on the 10.1.2013 my new Baby arrived.
Unboxing , Connecting all Cables , Placed on the Table , Plug inn the Power and then:

NOTHING , DEAD !!!

No starting, no beep , absolutely no reaction .... Thats my new 3600.- € Trash on the Table.....

Ok , cool down and call Apple with the following reaction:

It does this now and again, it'll be back soon

A great advert for cloud services!

@dsthifi
Heftig..mein Beileid!!

I have read in a german forum that a guy got higher priority for his reorder. He had stripes on the display. But the replacment iMac comes few days later.

Chris i would call Apple again and tell them its unacceptable to wait against 4 weeks.

ps: i've ordering exact the same machine.

Bizzare how the spreadsheet does not exist any more. Have been trying all morning to update my shipping but no joy.

Too many other users trying to scroll, sort, add data etc., Just give it a while and it will settle.

Weird, now says "Koeln, Germany 11/01/2013 15:35 Released by clearing agency Now in-transit for delivery"

Liverpool, where I live, is 600 miles away from Cologne! It'll be a long drive or someone in Germany/Holland will be enjoying my machine this weekend

yes i to find that location abit odd in relation to your sig

mine is in bound to heathrow on the virgin atlantic VIR251 service land in about 1 hour by ekk they have had the peddle to the metal radar site has had them at 650 mph air bus 340

Can anyone help me why expeditors won't work for me, I input the 82 number on the Apple shipped order but can't see any details. Is there a lag when it first kicks in? Because my preparing to shipment notice right through to Shipped and then landing in Cologne happened very quickly. Not complaing because getting quite a bit of detail on the UPS tracking system but still, like to test a new system that's all

Weird how some of these UK orders seem to get routed through Europe ?

Mine landed at Heathrow on Wednesday evening and is currently sitting at home having been delivered today!

That's good news - mine appears to be still at Heathrow but has been cleared by customs - since yesterday. I thought Apple state you will receive an email 48 hours before delivery. Obviously I am hoping for earlier (Monday I guess) but did you get an email from Apple after it left Heathrow? Thanks.

sorry I cannot help I just bunged the 82xxxxx number in and got the details with the flight number bunged that into flight radar and watched it come home

Finally my iMac which was ordered on the 13th of December had been updated over night to Preparing for Shipment. Hopefully it will be dispatched in the coming hours.

It does seem to have picked up last couple of days, you may even see it shipped before the end of the day!! Good luck

Mine has shipped...Delivery January 18th....It didn't stay in preparing for shipment long....Less than 24 hours in fact. Now to finish up organising a way to fit 2 27" Imacs on my desk side by side.....I'm going to give MA a shot using Thunderbolt to make the transfer. Always did it manually before, but I'm happy to try it out....All my data is backed up anyway.

I hope you all start getting progress now
